When I was actively building Eurorack modules (COVID hobbies, eh?), I invested in a vacuum desoldering gun gizmo. Saved me a ton of time, and the aloe plant grew bigger. Desoldering a bunch of microscopic SMT crap is a PITA. Worked a charm on through hole, too.

Yeah man! The blue Z3 has rosewood, which I have deluded myself in to believing softens some of the hi-fi sharpness of the Zcoils. I mean, if I could even play the damned thing.

I shouldn't have looked. I think I want with this: https://davesguitar.com/products/gl/asat-classic-15/ It'll pair nicely with the blue bassboat flake ASAT Z3 with MOTS pickguard I have.

That is gorgeous. Didn't you also have a gold top with an Atkins bar?

I don't know if there's a consensus on what guitarists need to think about when buying an amp. But, I'll tell you what I'm usually thinking when I buy a new amp: "Did I start with two fingers of scotch or three on this one?"

Every time I pick up a guitar, the fingers of my fretting hand magically form, in order of likelihood, an open E, G or C (but never an A or D). When I see posed pictures of people holding guitars and not fingering an open E, G or C, I sometimes wonder, "What does that...sound like?" In Henry's case, keep in mind he envisioned Gibson only as a "lifestyle brand", a la H-D, from which he could extract a fortune. And that's where I'll stop. Also, when does the comma go inside the quotes and when doesn't it? I've always put it inside when it was an actual quote of something said, but outside when it's used, as here, only to convey a certain snarkiness. I hope I haven't been going around all these years executing the literary equivalent of an Em/F#(add)sorta, y'know?

I can type with above average accuracy? Dunno.

There is no talking to him. He's fond of saying, "There are two types of people in this world. Avoid them both." Not sure what you mean about words changing. You mean when people mis-type "Gibson"? Never happened to me. Nuh-uh.

Probably. I strongly suspect that, a lot of the time, he does things with no understanding of expected outcomes. Like, he probably didn't even fully read the page that says "hey, we're going to upgrade your board to this nifty new accomplishments/awards system, are you sure" until after he pushed the "Yes" button.

Digging it. Thank you for sharing!

I occasionally think I'd like an H-525. But, then I think I can't really do it justice, so why? That one Randy has (or had) was beautiful. The "2" wouldn't bother me in the least, especially as it's only "finish flaws." Nice looking guitar, Brent! Also, when it's time to trade it off, I still have that Amish dining room set...just sayin'.

Reminds me of a funny exchange when I was much (much) younger. My grandmother responded, rather curtly, to something one of my aunts had said with, "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar." Common phrase, nothing funny about it. My grandfather, however, added from the other room, "But if you want to catch them all, just use shit." I think moments and memories like that one contributed significantly to who I am today.

Time is a flat circle.

Reminds me of Hondo.

Because I assiduously avoid being in them. Otherwise, you'd be second shortest.
